First impact
JSC TENEX (Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation) →Prices riseLow-Enriched Uranium (LEU) Nuclear Fuel
A Rosatom-led new nuclear plant creates long-run demand for LEU fuel, and TENEX's 35% market share with only 0.25 substitutability and a 60-month replacement lead time makes that fuel market plausibly tighter and pricier.
61% confidenceKazatomprom →Prices riseLow-Enriched Uranium (LEU) Nuclear Fuel
The Balkhash EPC deal advances a 2.4 GW nuclear buildout, which should raise future LEU demand; Kazatomprom’s 22% supply share and 24-month replacement lead time make the price effect material.

Low-Enriched Uranium (LEU) Nuclear Fuel →supply upAdvancing Balkhash NPP construction raises expected nuclear generation capacity, which increases eventual electricity supply from a LEU-fueled plant.
83% confidenceLow-Enriched Uranium (LEU) Nuclear Fuel →supply upAdvancing Balkhash NPP construction raises expected future nuclear generation, so the downstream residential electricity good becomes more available.
66% confidenceLow-Enriched Uranium (LEU) Nuclear Fuel →Stands to benefitHop 3
Residential Electricity →supply upElectricity Generation
The EPC contract advances construction of a new nuclear plant, which directly increases future generation capacity and eases the electricity-generation process behind residential electricity.
89% confidenceElectricity (residential) →supply upPower Generation
The EPC contract advances a nuclear plant, so the power-generation step gains future capacity and output availability.
89% confidenceElectricity (residential) →Prices riseLow-Enriched Uranium (LEU) Nuclear Fuel
More eventual nuclear generation raises demand for LEU fuel once the plant enters service, though the effect is delayed by construction.
